About

We'll wind our way into the canopied forest along Beaver Creek, natural wetlands and ponds. Seasonal wildflowers dot the trails and meadows. Over 3/4 of the ride is in the shaded protection of the forest.

  • Minimal elevation gain, ideal for all riding abilities.

  • All our rides come with complimentary water, but feel free to bring your own. We have saddle bags for water and phones.

  • Ride duration is 2 hours, but plan for an additional 45 minutes for prep time (waivers, instructional/safety demonstration, stirrup adjustment etc).

  • We have strict weight restrictions based on height. (Please see our chart in frequently asked questions.) We reserve the right to check weight at check in, anyone 5 lbs or more over the limit will not be allowed to participate. This is to ensure the safety and comfort of our guests as well as that of our horses.

  • We hand pick a horse for each rider based on riding experience, height and weight prior to their ride.

  • Our rides are capped at 5 people for a better experience, for larger groups please email us.
